Recipe Notes

For the healthiest version of this recipe, opt for a frozen whole wheat crust and thaw as the package directs before using. Available at health food stores or in the natural food section of your market, these crusts have more fiber than traditional ones and are usually prepared with nonhydrogenated oil–an added benefit for weight loss.

Recipe: Maple Baked Apples

Maple Baked Apples
Ingredients
4 large apples
3/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup (about 2 ounces) walnut pieces
1/4 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Ice cream (optional)

Directions
1.   Heat oven to 400° F.
2.   Using a paring knife, remove the cores and trim about a 1/2-inch slice from the bottom of each apple, so they sit flat. Place the apples in an ovenproof skillet or 8- to 9-inch baking dish.
3.   Drizzle with the syrup. Divide the walnuts and raisins among the apples, filling the cavities, and place any extra in the dish. Dot the apples with the butter. Bake until tender, 40 to 50 minutes.
4.   If using a baking dish, pour the liquid from the dish into a skillet. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until it thickens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the warm apples and serve with the ice cream, if desired.
